Dennis,

We were mistakenly under the impression this strike board was a web site available to members and non-members alike. It is a shame "four members" refuse to buy from us just because we won't join a club, but they have that right. We sell to both members and non-members. Since you have broad shoulders the reason that I will never join your club is because of pushy people like you. I have a lot of enjoyment collecting poker chips, silver strikes, and it is fun to sell them too. I own a classic 1969 Harley Davidson but we don't belong to a Harley club, I have a new ZO6 Corvette but we don't belong to a Corvette club, I have a lot of guns but I don't belong to the NRA, I have a four-wheel drive but don't belong to a 4x4 club. I guess I just have too many hobbies, but it is impossible to join a club for each hobby. You're right, the membership dues are extremely cheap. We are just not "joiners". The Hell's Angels overall are a nicer group of people than some of these so-called board members. Everytime we post a message invariably there is some genius with a negative comment. I have had enough of this - you win........

To relieve you of any further anxiety, please rest assured I and my wife will never post anything again on this exclusive board. I am sure there will be many comments following this, but we will not respond. So much for a free country..........
